The New York Rangers are broken, so what’s next?

A season that was already shaping up to be a letdown for the New York Rangers reached a new nadir over the weekend when the team fell to the Boston Bruins by a 10-2 margin on the road on Saturday.

The Rangers experienced a brutal 2024-25 campaign that cost previous head coach Peter Laviolette his job, and this season under two-time Stanley Cup winner Mike Sullivan was supposed to be different.

Instead, New York is tied for last place in the Eastern Conference by points percentage, and it’s looking increasingly likely that the 2023-24 Presidents’ Trophy winners will miss out on the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the second year in a row.

On Monday’s episode of Daily Faceoff LIVE, host Tyler Yaremchuk and co-host and former NHL goaltender Carter Hutton discussed where the Blueshirts go from here after a disappointing first half of the season.

Tyler Yaremchuk: Hutts, it has been 23 months since we’ve seen a team allow 10 goals… It was an absolute beatdown, and to turn it into a bit of a Rangers topic here, they’re last in the East with a .500 point percentage, and listen, you don’t give up 10 goals unless you are very, very broken.

Carter Hutton: This is an effort thing, too. You talk about 10 goals. You can have a goalie having a bad night… These are professionals, right? There’s no let up on the other side. Maybe you’re not going to celebrate or do whatever, but you’re a professional and you keep churning away, and when I look at this New York Rangers team, it’s broken. This is two years of them just not being where we expected them to be, I think where expectations were coming in, and now you’re in a tough spot. You have Shesterkin; you have a few pieces that are tough. You’re going to lose Panarin. He’s going to walk… Do you try to get him to move something? At this point, you start selling everything you can that’s not nailed down.
